About this experience
Lower Austria is the cradle of Austrian viticulture, so we want to take you to the beautiful forests & vineyards of the Thermal Region, just south of Vienna. Home to traditionally quaint wine villages and some unique local varietals, we showcase the finest in farm-to-table Austrian wine tours. We offer two different tours, depending on the season: In summer (Apr-Oct), we hike through forested trails and lush green vineyards to appreciate the beautifully expansive views over the Vienna basin from above the canopy. We then continue to one of Austria's oldest wine villages for lunch and a winery visit to sample the very best the region has to offer. In winter (Nov-Mar), instead of hiking, we focus on the past, present and future of Austrian wine by first visiting one of its oldest wine-making institutions dating back to 1141. We then meet one of the region's finest vintners for a wonderfully intimate wine tasting and Q&A to showcase all that the Thermal Region has to offer.

What you'll see and do
Wien Mitte the Mall
The tour meeting point is Vienna's 'Wien Mitte' railway station (09:00 Apr-Oct & 09:30 Nov-Mar). Once we've met and introduced ourselves, we'll board a train southwards (approx 30 minutes) to the heart of the Vienna Woods.
Pass by without stopping
Vienna Woods
Summer We begin our hike in the lovely spa town of Baden, once a favourite country retreat of Beethoven. We meander through the classic village centre and its gorgeous parks before hiking along forest trails towards a magnificent elevated viewpoint which overlooks the Vienna basin & the Wienerwald in all directions. This spot alone is a photographer's dream! We then enter the vineyards, wandering through row upon row of lush green vines. As reward for our efforts, we'll take a break sat among the vines for an open-air wine tasting. Winter Our train brings us directly to the vineyards of the Thermal Region and to one of Austria’s oldest wine making institutions, steeped in middle-age tradition and history. We'll discover how the monastic orders became wine pioneers of their time, develop an understanding of what has shaped the Austrian wine landscape over time, and consider in what direction it may be moving forward...with a welcome glass of sekt in your hand, of course!

Gumpoldskirchen
Summer & Winter We then continue to the picturesque wine village of Gumpoldskirchen. On the summer itinerary we'll have lunch at one of its traditional Austrian wine taverns before our second wine tasting, while on the winter itinerary we do the wine tasting before lunch. The tasting is led by one of the region's finest winemakers. This allows for plenty of opportunities to ask diverse questions ranging from family background and history, to the impacts of climate change, to organic production methods! All of which give an intimate insight into the challenges facing modern day vintners in Austria. The tour ends with a short train ride back to the city centre. You'll arrive to your hotel in plenty of time to freshen up before dinner, the opera, the theatre, or the concert. Whichever it is, you'll sleep well that night!

Incredible Vienna Wine Country Experience
If you’re looking for a unique wine tasting experience, this is your tour! A short 30 minute train ride gets you out of the city and enjoying the beautiful landscape of Vienna’s wine country. This private tour guided by James, who was so much fun and incredibly knowledgeable about the area, was just what we were looking for. The walk/hike, albeit quite a distance, boasted gorgeous views of picturesque landscapes with a great finish of delicious lunch and wine tasting in a beautiful little town. If you’re looking to get your steps in and want a once in a lifetime experience, this is your full-day excursion!

Private Vienna Woods Wine Tour Vienna A beautiful day hiking and wine tasting in Switzerland’s Thermal Region!
A beautiful day hiking and wine tasting in An amazing day hiking through Switzerland's thermal region. The original plan was to kayak through Wachau Valley, but threats of rain made that option unsafe. Thanks to Venture Vienna, they were able to provide an alternative option, and we were not disappointed! Beautiful views, authentic lunch, and great wines! James was an awesome tour guide - funny, knowledgeable, and so flexible!

Wonderful wine, beautiful scenery
This tour was amazing! Beautiful scenery and country, amazing wines and a great tour guide. James is so knowledgeable about the region, the wine, and has established great local connections. This was very much a private, small, local wine tour with the families who own the vineyards, that was very different from the more commercially driven tastings we’ve done in the past. He also translated everything from German to English for us. We had a wonderful time. 10/10.

Baden by foot and belly!
Wonderful experience! Both the hike/scenery plus the amazing food and wine were well above expectations. First part was the hike through Baden and up to an observation tower were each view offered scenes of different landscapes and a few different countries. Climb was invigorating and James kept us motivated and moving forward...briskly at times :-) After the climb to the tower we walked down through the vineyard fields along a well marked path lined with the vintner's stands for sips and bites, tempting distractions for a quite a bit of trail. Last push was to a Church dating back to at least 1140 and the surrounding town where we had an amazing lunch sitting outside with the sun warming us and the food filling us. Good feelings inside and out! The Wine tasting completed the tour with both great wines to share and taste and time with the vintner himself to talk about his wines and the craft. Very generous with both his knowledge and wine pours, our trip ended with wonderful memories of a great experience. James as a guide was also very special. He made sure to engage directly with each of us, learning about us and sharing his own personal experiences. (which are really cool and much better being heard from him directly). James took personal responsibility for making sure we had a wonderful day and we hope to be able to share time with him again on our next visit.

Very nice
Hi, My husband and I went on a private hiking wine tour with this small company. We found the guide really thoughtful and smart; he gave us many insights into the place and the culture. It was an unusually hot day, so he gave us the option to do part of the hike by bus, which we really appreciated. What we enjoyed even more was our conversation with a local winemaker, where we learned even more about the culture and enjoyed some of his delicious wines. A great day.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Vienna Woods Private Wine Tour: Local Vineyards & Scenic Views: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vienna.
How much does Vienna Woods Private Wine Tour: Local Vineyards & Scenic Views cost?
+
Prices start at $825 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vienna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Vienna Woods Private Wine Tour: Local Vineyards & Scenic Views take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vienna is not rushed.
Is Vienna Woods Private Wine Tour: Local Vineyards & Scenic Views worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Vienna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Vienna Woods Private Wine Tour: Local Vineyards & Scenic Views?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Vienna Woods Private Wine Tour: Local Vineyards & Scenic Views suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Vienna Woods Private Wine Tour: Local Vineyards & Scenic Views?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vienna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vienna and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Vienna Woods Private Wine Tour: Local Vineyards & Scenic Views start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vienna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Vienna?
+
On Outty we rank every Vienna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Authentic Vienna Food Tour inc. lunch, street food, 3 drinks, Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food, Budapest Small-Group Day Trip from Vienna. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Vienna?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Vienna?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
